Libya müdahalesi ve Suriye’deki iç savaş, insancıl müdahaleyi, uluslararası hukukun bu tür bir

The Libya intervention and civil war in the Syria renders humanitarian intervention a crucialmatter for discussion on the way whether or not international law allows this kind of use of force.After establishing of the UN, international law order does not reply in the affirmative way to thediscussion about humanitarian interventions as a new exception to the prohibition of the use offorce. Such an exception based of humanitarian intervention in the 1990s has been referred onceagain with the approaches of ‘legitimate intervention’ and ‘responsibility to protect’ in the lightof state practices and writings of scholars. It is quite clear that these approaches are not compatiblewith the well-established rule of the prohibition of the use of force and its strictly definedexceptions. The Libya intervention is an important benchmark test for that picture. Ongoing civilwar in the Syria, on the other hand, evidences the necessity for alternative measures other thanhumanitarian intervention.
